The aim of this dissertation is to investigate how the struggle for universal suffrage is depicted in Swedish textbooks from the early 1900s until today. The investigation seeks to discern the depiction of women’s struggle for suffrage and to discern whether there is a tendency towards possible change in how textbook authors have depicted this over time. The investigation will be conducted through scrutinizing and analyzing nine textbooks of history. The results from the analysis show that the textbooks depict women’s suffrage as a positive matter, since it results in the feeling of “finally democracy in Sweden”. However, none of the authors of the textbooks attempt to convey what happens after the gain of suffrage. The perspectives in the textbooks do not seem to have changed over time, since the authors still uphold a similar design. In addition, all textbooks seem contain certain passages where “true” facts are predominant. Despite of recent years of acknowledging gender history, women’s history and the increased visibility of women this cannot be discerned as a tendency in the investigated literature. Throughout the scope of analyzed textbooks there is no particular visible change over time, but instead all of the textbooks seem to treat similar aspects and theories. New ideas and approaches that have occurred do not seem to have contributed to any change in the textbooks. The same facts based on “truth” are conveyed in a chronological order, and the older texts are not substantially rewritten.
